If gas mileage is important due to a long commute then it is a no brainer: get the fusion and buy the mustang later when funds allow.
If you really want the mustang now then simply rent a car for a few months. The sales tax on a new Fusion is easily $1,500 so that is lost money that can go...
Doubt it. It is one of those things were Ford cuts cost because most people do not look near their pedals or clean their car themselves.
2011 GT shows a slightly better cut but still has visible layer:
GT 500:
Did you try sitting in the back yourself or did you have a quick look and decided it was too small to try?
According to Ford official specs: compared to the 2014 we get 0.1 inches extra headroom in the rear and rear legroom increased by 0.8 inches.
With front legroom increasing by 2.1 inches...
According to this Ford doc the radar system can go up to 600ft:

I doubt it would help at all for a deer. Very different radar signature compared to a car and they tend to jump in front of you at the last minute.
Ford does have a system that...
One thing I wonder about is the impact of hot weather/humidity on the 2.3 ecoboost.
My car has a 1.8 turbo and while it is plenty zippy with temps at 70 or below as soon as it gets above 90F the performance drops off big time due to heatsoak. I think the Ecoboost has a much larger...
In addition to the note books Walmart also sells these folders. There are two different Mustang folders (also have Corvette, Challenger, Camaro in different colors).
Here are the Mustang folders (plus showing the marketing brochure that I got in the mail two weeks ago after requesting a test...
I think harder plastic on the transmission tunnel / shifter area is probably a good thing since any soft rubber would scratch quickly and look nasty pretty quickly.
For me the S3 has a few drawbacks that (almost) take it off my list:
- no manual (DSG is yet another item that needs a fluid change every 35K)
- haldex instead of Torsen. (The fluids on the Haldex have to be changed at least every 3 years regardless of mileage)
- only 4 doors (I have...
I prefer that the Mustang stands out for its exterior/interior looks, performance and handling vs a gimmick like the Halos.
Glad that MyColor is available though and that you can adjust the intensity of the ambient lighting to a subtle level.
Many German cars (and these days also Japanese cars offer it, even a Chevy Sonic) have a feature where you hit the turn signal stalk once and the turn signal will blink 3 times, then automatically shut off. It is sometimes referred to as "3 blink touch-to-pass lane change".
The Euro S550 will...
Quick comparison of rear seat between Mustang and 235:
rear headroom: 34.8 vs 36.5
rear shoulder: 52.2 vs 53.4
rear legroom: 30.6 vs 33
front legroom: 44.5 vs 41.5
Big difference in headroom. That is going to be the main reason why people consider the Mustang back seat to be cramped. Combined...
Requested brochure and setup test drive Sep 25th in Austin, TX.
The test car better not be a V6. Fine with Ecoboost or GT to get an overall feel for the driving experience.
Have been driving a 1999.5 Audi A4 (B5) for last 15 years. Love that car. The interior still looks pristine after 115K miles. Was planning on replacing with a B8 A4 Avant but they were only available with an automatic.
The S550 is the first Mustang that I can see myself driving. The S197...
